The Best Dog Harnesses

Every expert we spoke to agreed that walking your dog with a harness is safer than leading them by the collar. A harness gives you better control on walks and takes pressure off your pup’s neck if, say, your dog lunges after a squirrel. (In extreme cases, a dog pulling against a collar can cause tracheal collapse.) After three years of testing, we still believe that the Kurgo Tru-Fit Smart Dog Walking Harness is the best harness for most dogs (and their owners). Its buckles and straps are long-lasting, and it has both front and back attachment points for greater versatility. It’s also easy to put on and available in a variety of sizes, and it comes with a great warranty.
